Pig

Quadraped of the genus sus or four legged, pinkish mammal, that goes 'oink'.

Some period cultures had a taboo against eating meat from pigs. This is because of the virus and bacteria that pigs can carry.

A "magical beast that produces bacon, ham, and pork chops".

For complex reasons, to do with the tendency for food at events to be limited in volume, making a pig a monarch is generally frowned on, since they then expect to get rapid access to the front of the feast queue. In some cases, their conversation can also be quite 'boring'.
